The High Court of Justice has denied nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu's petition to renounce his citizenship due to the fact it wasn't submitted to the appropriate channels.

"I sat in jail, I was freed and after 26 years they still won't let me go," he said following the hearing. "I want them to revoke my citizenship so that I can begin my life." (Aviad Glickman and Aviel Magnezi)
